30. 3a on the basis of NOE experiments, has assumed that the analogous 2-methyl substituted diene preferentially exists in solution as a s-trans conformer and has subsequently assigned the configuration of the major diastereomers arising from the Diels-Alder reaction with MA and PTAD by assuming an endo attack to the more sterically free face of the diene in that conformer. We have now found that an AMI based theoretical conformational analysis supports this hypothesis. However, the small value of the calculated energy differences between conformer X (s-trans) and conformer IX (s-cis) suggests the convenience of a more detailed analysis.
